Episode 852: Secrets of Maz Kanata’s Castle and the Resistance Base

In the second of my series of looks at Star Wars: Complete Locations, I’m going over the cross section details of Maz Kanata’s Castle and the Resistance Base on D’Qar.

There aren’t a whole lot of new details that bear on the deepest secrets of the new trilogy, but definitely some enticing tidbits. For example:

–Details on the location of Luke’s lightsaber inside Maz’s Castle

–Another reference to the Jedi/Sith battle that took place on the site of Maz’s castle

–Maz’s intent to rebuild after the First Order’s attack

–The portability of equipment on the Resistance base, for ease of evacuation

Considering the fact that Episode VIII will be picking up right after The Force Awakens left off, and based on the information shared above, I think there’s a good chance that we’ll see a bit of the rebuilding of Takodana in Episode VIII, and even more likely, we’ll see the First Order rushing to attack the Resistance as they’re trying to get away from D’Qar as fast as they can.
